Animal Art

The keepers at the Houston Zoo work to enrich the lives of the animals in their care every day by adding interesting and complex activities to the animals’ daily routine. Enrichment activities are fun for both animals and keepers.

We have found many of our animals enjoy painting with canvases, non-toxic paints and a little help from their keepers to create their very own masterpieces. Each painting is unique and each artist has his or her very different and unique techniques. Due to high demand, paintings will take 4-6 weeks to create. Paintings come un-framed with the animal’s bio and picture. Please contact us at animalencounters@houstonzoo.org with questions.
